^That is also assuming that there isn't more damage you cannot see. Takes quite a bit of force to break those control arms and I wouldn't be surprised if there was further damage and possible frame damage. Thats just a guess. Why don't you take it to a shop and have them look at it? We are all just guessing based on 2 pictures.

The front passenger rim also looks (for lack of a better word) "ripped" or "torn" at the 1 o'clock location...

The more I stare at these photos, the more damage I see...
True dat. Wheel and tire are both toast.

Thanks for the responses guys. Taking it to a shop in couple of days to get everything checked. Lower control arms seem too hard to diy myself unlike the upper A-arm so I would just have to take it to a shop for that. Hopefully there won't be any subframe damage. Also, I guess for oem bumper, majestic honda is the way to go right?

My guess is $4-5K might be on the low-end side. Using all Honda OEM parts & good paint job.

Good luck with the fix!

It appears the fender can be done with a pointless dent removal service. No creases visible. The hood looks undamaged. The lip is another story. That is what needs to be replaced and painted.

Not sure about the rest of the suspension hardware, wheels and tire replacement cost.

Are you going to go through your collision insurance to cover this? I wouldn't claim small onesy-twosey accidents, but this is a large enough amount, that it might be worth it...

If nothing else is bent it really looks like an easy diy fix. You you were a good diy guy you can but the lover control arm used for like $150. Fender looks fine to me. Lip looks like it's ok too. If you can you can get Luky and look for a used oem red bumper for like $200-400. Alignment for $100 and of course you will need a new rim. Is that advan rims? So 1 rimi is about $500. This can can be fixed at home for $1000 -$1500 easy assuming no frame damage. I would say $4000 if you take it to a shop with all new oem Honda parts and paint.

All in all it really does not look bad at all in my opinion.

Dude, cmon. That fender is absolutely wrecked. The lip at the very least needs sanding and paint.
